Morning! Today's song is You Might Think by The Cars.
I can't hear this song without thinking about space bugs. Thank you Braindead for doing that because I secretly love it since I've been conditioned to laugh at this song always now. So these guys are an American rock band active from 1976 to 1988, then came back briefly in 2010-2011, and then again in 2018. Members include Ric Ocasek, Benjamin Orr, Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes, and David Robinson. The group had many iterations before settling on a name and line up, then releasing their first demo in 1977. They got signed and released their debut album in 1978, with multiple songs topping the charts, before releasing another album the next year. They released an album in 1980, bought a studio, then released another album. They took a break in 1982 so the members could do some solo work, reuniting as a band in 1984. They released an album that year, which is where this song comes from. They ended up getting super popular after, and once that wave was ridden they took another break for solo projects. They came back with the release of an album in 1987, which didn't chart as well as others, and eventually the band broke up in 1988. Since then there have been some greatest hits releases, and members have pursued their solo projects. In 2010, the surviving members decided on a reunion, releasing a new album and touring for it. They disappeared again after that tour until they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, where they all gathered again for a one time show. Since then another member has died, but the songs and their popularity lives on thanks to things like Braindead.
Peace.
